GODs WAY PREVAILS .......Even Israel as a type of all humanity was also blinded .... In several different passages Gods Word reveals the principle: First to the Jews, then to the Gentiles (John 4:22; Acts 2021; Romans 1:16 and 2:9). So Christ and the Apostles first preached to the Jews. Later, in Acts 10 , we find the story of how God led Peter to open up salvation to the Gentiles---beginning with the household of Cornelius. So why are the Jewish people--and the vast majority of those descended from the lost tribes---not converted Christians? Because-----as with the rest of humanity---God has absolutely blinded them so they cannot understand! In the Books of Romans, Paul was inspired to explain this about the people of Israel: For they being ignorant of Gods righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God (Romans 10:3). Notice, however, that these people were and are not ignorant of the righteousness of God. For god has not yet CALLED them. Notice Pauls explanation: What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the Elect (sa mga tinawag na maglingkod) have obtained it, and the rest were blinded. Just as it is written: God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear, to this very day (Romans 11:7-8). The KING JAMES VERSION has verse 7 translated this way: What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; bu the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. But has God blinded these people forever ? OF COURSE NOT ? As we explained, GOD IS A JUST GOD ....He will call each class of peoplen in His own time. That is precisely what mainstream Christianity does not understand. Here is Gods answer to this puzzle (mga bagay na gumugulo sa isipan!) : For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written : THE DELIVERER will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob (Romans 11:25-26). So ALL Israel will be saved! As we will show you in a moment, there is a time coming---a day of judgment ---when all human beings who have been blinded down through the ages will ahve the scales removed from their eyes. The old prejudices and the old falsehoods wil finally be banished. THE THEY WILL SEE> THEY WILL SEE AND UNDERSTAND CLEARLY< AT LAST, THE GREAT PURPOSE GOD HAS BEEN WORKING OUT HERE ON EARTH. THEY WILL UNDERSTAND WHY GOD HAS LET MANKING, as a whole, go its own way in spiritual (blindness these past 6,000 years. BUT NOT TO THOSE WHO ARE CALLED THE ELECTED ONES TO REMAIN IN LIGHT and BE THE SALT OF THE EARTH. TO CONTINUE JESUS CHRIST MISSION to save mankind! Hallelujah glory to Christ Jesus. Amen
